Different cities you have lived in that are connected by the same highway

I've lived in several different cities in my life, and I've noticed a pattern.  Several of these cities are connected by the same highway.

Mena, Arkansas and Kansas City, Missouri (US 71, Future I-49)
Tulsa, Oklahoma and Kansas City, Missouri (US 169)
Tulsa, Oklahoma and Conway, Arkansas (US 64)

I also worked in Sedalia, Missouri which connects to Conway, Arkansas via US 65.  I have spent a lot of time in Lawrence, Kansas which connects to Mena, Arkansas via US 59, and I got married in Poteau, Oklahoma (marriage didn't work out, thank $deity$).

Waskom, TX, Shreveport, LA, Bossier City, LA and Monroe, LA (I-20/US 80)
Monroe, LA, Pineville, LA, and Woodworth, LA (US 165)

If we don't count a central city and its suburbs, then Washington, DC, and Baltimore, MD (I-95 and US 1).  US 1 also goes into the postal area of another place where I've lived, namely, Princeton, NJ.

Government would be tolerable if not for politicians and bureaucrats.

Spent my youth and college years in Lynn, MA, and have lived in Wakefield, MA since 1990.  Both communities are connected by MA Route 129.  However, if you don't count the MBTA, it's probably the least efficient way to travel between the two.

The town where I was born in Texas is not on any direct route to any other place I've lived.

Boise, ID and Laramie, WY both connected by US 30 with Geneva, IL as an honorable mention since its pretty close. So for 16/25 of my life i have lived within fifteen miles of that highway.         

My other would be Boise and McCall ID with Idaho 55.

I have always lived in cities located along US 61 and I-10, not to mention the Jefferson Highway. Not too many cities in that category, though.
On different out-of-state trips, I have managed to visit both ends of US 20 and both historical ends of US 6 (and neither trip was expressly for those purposes, it was a bonus by coincidence).

The town where I was born in Texas is not on any direct route to any other place I've lived.

US 29 was a constant in my life for 12 years. Danville & Lynchburg VA, Atlanta, Anderson SC, and Charlotte.

Thanks to having lived in four different cities in metro Atlanta (Atlanta, Conyers, Decatur, and Hampton), there are several such connections involving various permutations of I-20, US 19, US 23, US 29, US 41, US 78, US 278, and GA 20.

Honorable mention to US 29, which in addition to hitting both Atlanta and Decatur also comes within about ten miles of my former home in Gaithersburg, MD.
